A vector would be a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
Answer:
A. The upward pressure gradient force is balanced by gravity.
Explanation:
A. is correct because the pressure difference is actually generated by gravity. As in the following formula for the pressure at different points:

where
are the pressure at 2 points, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height difference.
B is incorrect because friction in air is too small to make an effect.
C is incorrect because the Coriolis force is horizontal, not vertical.
D is incorrect because a difference of 500 hPa = 50000 Pa, this is half of the atmospheric pressure.
E is incorrect because temperature cannot generate force.

<h2>Comet:</h2>
It is a celestial body constituted by ice, dust and rocks that orbit around the Sun, after having been altered by the Oort cloud; following different trajectories that can be highly eccentric elliptical (periodic trajectories), parabolic or hyperbolic.
One of the main characteristics of a comet is that it travels quite fast, on its way around the Sun and has a long tail, which always go in the opposite direction to the Sun (due to the radiation pressure of sunlight).
<h2>Asteroid:
</h2>
It is a small rocky body (smaller than a planet and larger than a meteoroid). Most of these bodies are orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the region known as the asteroid belt; while others accumulate at Jupiter's Lagrange points, and others cross the orbits of the planets.
<h2>Meteoroid:
</h2>
It is a fragment of the celestial body that moves through space, which is smaller in size to an asteroid. If it gets to enter the atmosphere of the Earth, it will start to burn by friction with it (combustion) and it will be called a meteor, while if it hits the surface, it will be called a meteorite.
Answer:
Resource disposal or waste disposal is a crucial aspect of resource management.
Businesses in the manufacturing sector must develop a model of operations that allows an endless loop of internal recycling of waste and or processing waste resources into commercial resources.
A good example would be when an abattoir processes the internal organs of cows and goats with some waste gotten from rice mill into can food for dogs and canines. Waste from this secondary process can either be converted into organic manure to be sold to farmers or processed further for consumption at carnivorous fish farms.
